Alvarez Fellows Undergraduate Research Fellowship

The Alvarez Fellowship is a 2.5-year program designed to cultivate research interest and instill research acumen in outstanding undergraduate students in the Carlos Alvarez College of Business. Alvarez Fellows will learn about the nature and scope of research conducted in a variety of business disciplines and participate in experiential learning activities. First, students study research methods as part of a three-course sequence that results in a business research competency. Working with faculty mentors, the students will also execute a personal research project with the goal of writing and submitting a paper to a peer-reviewed journal or academic conference. Fellows are awarded up to $5,000 stipend each long semester of the program and are renewable for up to 2.5 years contingent upon meeting program expectations.
